We love animation

And colorful characters

Welcome to Monkey Tennis. We are an animation studio, based in Viborg & Copenhagen, Denmark. We aspire to bring a unique blend of imagination, talent and humour to the worlds of animation, film, advertising, digital media and beyond. We know that all projects are unique with diverse

and individual needs and we taylor our approach to each project individually. Our services range from fully animated productions to supervision & direction, as well as work for hire in all aspects of a CG pipeline. Scroll down if you want to learn more about us and what we do.

About the studio

And what we do

Monkey Tennis was established in 2014, and now consists of four like-minded artists & producers from Denmark, Switzerland and Germany. Together we are the core of Monkey Tennis, an animation studio and creative collective. Our studio is based in Viborg (DK), next to The Animation Workshop, and we recently opened in Copenhagen (DK) as well. We provide service work in all aspects of the CG pipeline as well as full productions from beginning to end.

A part from our studio work, we also offer both creative & technical direction and supervision on animated produc­tions. We work both as a group and on individual level on more specific parts of the pipeline. Our creative approach is a collective effort, where we combine our individual strengths to direct our projects as a unit. At Monkey Tennis we have a vast network of talented artists, that allows us to bring in the right talent for the right projects.
